Question Cryogenic freezing of s2 gearbox??

Just before i take the plunge and get my s2 gearbox internals froze whats the general opinion??? Maybe drive shafts as well im thinking any advise would be appreciated, ... got a whining so its a bearing failure, while the box is out now's my chance i guess and i want to stop throwing money at this so the idea is to future proof it a little by giving a little extra strength to cope.

p.s no mtx stuff or uprated box changes as there money money money and i think 5k on the engine is enough
Cheers guys..

257bhp 23lbs boost. Ryan west mids.

Using a Ib5 box would be a cheap option.

Cryogenic treatment of gearbox internals will do nothing to stop the gearbox case from flexing with high torque loading. For high torque applications you require a different gearbox for reliability.

A car is a package not just an engine. Spend a little more on a tidy gearbox and you will have a much better package
